They have to spread the wealth a little bit. Jay-Z basically owns this category (I think he’s won it at least 5 times?). I think Kendrick will take the majority of rap categories, but you can’t deny the power of this couple in the industry.

Bey & Jay were nominated 3 times together in Rap/Sung; 2004 (Crazy In Love), 2007 (Déjà Vu), 2014 (On The Run), and they only won once, for Crazy In Love.

“Loyalty” is also the biggest hit in this category. Besides, Jay-Z has already won that award 7 times (he holds the record for most wins), vs Kendrick only once. I feel like an 8th win for Jay-Z in this category would be too much, they’ll give Kendrick his 2nd Rap/Sung award (and Rihanna her 5th).
